Driving your vehicle
•
•
If your car is equipped with an auto-
matic transaxle, don't let your car
creep forward. To avoid creeping for-
ward, keep your foot firmly on the
brake pedal when the car is stopped.
Use caution when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake and
place the gear selector lever in P
(Park). If your car is facing downhill,
turn the front wheels into the curb to
help keep the car from rolling. If your
car is facing uphill, turn the front
wheels away from the curb to help
keep the car from rolling. If there is no
curb or if it is required by other condi-
tions to keep the car from rolling, block
the wheels.
• Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged posi-
tion.This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only
temporarily while you put the gear
selector lever in P (Park) (automatic
transaxle) and block the rear wheels so
the car cannot roll. Then release the
parking brake.
• Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. This can
cause
the transaxle to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.
